Option 2: INR 4800

Option 3: INR 1000

Option 4: INR 4000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 3600


Solution : Marked price = INR 5000

So,
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price
= 5000 × $\frac{100-20}{100}$ × $\frac{100-10}{100}$
= 5000 × $\frac{80}{100}$ × $\frac{90}{100}$
= INR 3600
Hence, the correct answer is INR 3600.
